Description
Midtown Farmhouse is a mid-to-late 18th-century farmhouse. It has painted stucco walls with an eaves cornice and V-jointed quoins. The roof is of graduated greenslate with coped gables and kneelers, and there are 19th-century yellow-brick chimney stacks. The farmhouse is two storeys high, with five bays, and has a single-storey, two-bay extension to the right rear. The front door is top-glazed with six panels, set within a fluted plastered doorcase that has a dentilled triglyph frieze and a dentilled pediment; it is flanked by side lights. The windows are sash windows with glazing bars in stone architraves. The extension contains a top-glazed six-panel door in a stone surround to the right, and a sash window with glazing bars in a stone architrave to the left, which is partly obscured by ivy covering a coat-of-arms.
